The Vidas em Jogo project was created with the aim of supporting Brazilian churches in their own evangelistic projects designed for the World Cup period, when Brazil will receive a large number of tourists from different states in Brazil and different parts of the world. . For this reason, God gave us the grace for the Faithful Ministry, in alliance with the Ligonier Ministry, to donate 140,000 books that are distributed free of charge by the participating churches during the period of the games.
Since our first update of Vidas em Jogo at the start of the World Cup, a small ligonier team has traveled to Brazil to record the work and conduct interviews. In recent days it has been encouraging to see the enthusiasm with which locals the churches distribute Dr. RC’s pamphlets. Sproul and how well they are received by the public.
- With the help of our associated ministry.
- The faithful ministry.
- More than 300 churches have requested to participate in this project.
- The list has been reduced to 200 churches that have already begun distributing more than 140.
- 000 copies of Can I have joy in my life ?and a short new version of The Holiness of God titled Deus é Santo!How can I approach it? All over Brazil.
On Monday we were able to visit Sao Paulo, brazil’s largest city and the ninth largest city in the world, and saw Christians handing out Dr. Sproul brochures at a subway station. This particular location was chosen because a local pastor, Mauro Meister, led the team and established a church very close to the station.
We intentionally try to keep Dr. Sproul’s pamphlets distributed as close as possible to the local churches so that the future disciple could be possible. In fact, many churches insert maps containing information from their own churches into brochures for those who are interested.
Another intentional aspect of this project was the particular titles we printed. Our partners in Brazil have informed us that the pursuit of joy is a common theme in their culture, and being Brazil predominantly a Roman Catholic country, a book on the holiness of God must find greater receptivity.

The ministry of the faithful has also developed a website containing free e-books, a video on salvation in Christ, and an evangelism brochure. The address of this site is found in the 140,000 books distributed during the World Cup. Our prayer is that God can use the books. and this virtual channel to bring people closer to Christ.
